Chapter 52: Investigation and Counter-Investigation

That month of disappearance, and the acquisition of the clown mask, were perhaps all seen by those people...

Even my phone calls, internet access, chats... and what I ate that day were all closely monitored...

Thinking about this, Li Ge felt a strange... annoyance!

It's too difficult to shake off these stalkers on my own...

If Xiaoye were here, that would be wonderful.

Li Ge suddenly had this idea out of nowhere.

If she were around, that ability to slip into the shadows would be the best disguise and concealment.

He even recalled how he had mocked Xiaoye for calling his hometown a cesspool; now it seemed that his hometown was no less so.

It's even possible that this isn't a cesspool, but a mass grave for hundreds of millions of people...

I wonder how she is now?

Li Ge's thoughts began to wander, but her eyes immediately scanned her surroundings.

Xiaoye's shadow is better suited for hiding, unlike himself, whose abilities are all supportive. Although he has 3 minutes of God King time, he doesn't want to use it so easily.

The God King's three-minute throw must be used at the most crucial moment to create a big one.

Even with Amaterasu, the Lung Mist God-King, she could basically roam freely in this world, and even passing dogs would get hit by an Amaterasu.

"Looks like this is going to test the results of my month of special training." Li Ge suddenly changed his position and entered a large shopping mall.

He didn't know what information the enemy was using to track him, but the best way to hide a grain of sand was to hide it in the desert.

Although it was night, for Viona, the art capital, it seemed that nightlife was just beginning.

The large shopping mall was filled with people shopping and strolling around, and the "blood thirst disease" labels crawled into view like worms.

Meanwhile, outside the mall, the staff of the Anomaly Management Bureau began to get restless.

"Headquarters, Agent NO.39 has entered a large shopping mall with a large flow of people," the Special Investigations Bureau agent said directly.

"One team will enter disguised as passersby, while the other team will stand by and prepare to provide backup!"

"Daphne, as the one who happened to meet NO.39, you'd better not reveal your fear and vigilance."

"learn."

The people from the Abnormal Bureau immediately adopted a look of resignation, before gradually returning to normal.

"Reporting to headquarters, NO.39 has entered the second floor of the shopping mall..."

"Reporting to headquarters, we appear to have been detected. The imposter has entered the changing room; he seems to be trying to change his appearance before leaving!"

Messages were reported in a timely manner, and remote personnel from the Anomaly Bureau followed up with instructions to the scene. Moreover, it wasn't just here; more special agents were already approaching.

To them, the current No. 39 imposter is far too abnormal.

Such extremely dangerous containment objects are usually the most troublesome for the Empire.

"Don't provoke the imposters for now. Wait for the special envoy to arrive," the headquarters continued, issuing another order. "Continue surveillance. Even if they are discovered, give the impression that you won't escalate the situation until the headquarters special envoy arrives!"

"Yes!" the communications officer responded immediately, and began directing and communicating with the agents on site.

The entire anomaly bureau exuded an atmosphere of extreme tension and oppression, and the sounds of electronic instruments were exceptionally clear inside.

"The imposter has emerged and started running; he's trying to escape our surveillance!"

"Follow up immediately!"

Daphne was also a little nervous at this moment. She was the agent who reported Li Ge's abnormality a month ago. When she first saw Li Ge, who had failed the art exam, at the gate of Viona Art Academy, she felt a deep sense of fear.

In her eyes, Li Ge was not a normal person, but a monster whose pupils seemed to contain lions.

So she immediately reported it, and then instantly received the highest level of surveillance and vigilance from headquarters.

NO.39, The Pretender!

An anomaly that completely devoured and replaced its original owner.

Then, when she was about to use her advantage to get closer to the containment object again, she found that he had completely disappeared, as if he had vanished into thin air.

Today, after more than a month of continuous surveillance, the imposter finally appeared. She didn't know if she let the imposter escape this time, she would have to wait until the next time.

The Bureau of Abnormalities has been in some disarray lately. After monitoring the imposters for more than 20 days, they relaxed their efforts slightly, withdrawing a large number of their monitoring personnel to assist in the containment of another city, "NO.40 Nightmare Town," leaving only their four-person agent team to continue monitoring.

However, it was precisely at this moment that the imposter returned, and was in a hurry to leave. The other investigators nearby were either guarding another containment object or watching over the containment facility, and even needed to be transferred from other cities to help.

Everything seemed to be going in the direction they least wanted to see, and she had a very bad feeling.

"The target has been identified. Wait, why is a passerby wearing the trench coat that the imposter wore before?" When her partner said this, she felt a chill run through her body.

"The imposter has changed identities!" she immediately added. "Track down on everyone who just entered the same clothing store!"

"A human wearing the same sunglasses as the imposter has been spotted!"

"We've spotted someone wearing the same shoes and pants as the characters in 'The Disguiser'!"

"We've spotted someone wearing the same T-shirt as the character from 'The Disguiser'!"

There was a moment of silence on the channel, followed by a calm yet swift voice from headquarters: "Execute the contingency plan. Prioritize locking onto targets with abnormal biometric signatures!"

"Unable to lock on! All target biometric features exhibit normal human fluctuations; peak detection has failed!"

"Visual team, cross-compare body micro-expressions before and after entering the store! Data analysis team, retrieve all records!" Daphne gave the orders at lightning speed, but cold sweat was already seeping from her forehead.

"Visual contrast failed... The target may have changed facial features."

"The mall's access is being obtained; urgent coordination is underway..."

Time flew by as one contingency plan after another was declared ineffective.

For them, the problem of insufficient manpower was immediately exposed.

The imposters' nature makes it impossible for them to miss any passersby who bear their characteristics, so in an instant, they can't care about anything else.

While these agents were in a flurry of activity, a person dressed like a plush toy pushed a box of sealed clothing out of the mall.

"Wait a minute, this is an investigation by the Imperial Bureau of Investigation. Please assist with the investigation." The agent handed over a fake ID.

Their Anomaly Management Bureau often uses the name of the Imperial Investigation Bureau to cause trouble. There's no way around it; the Anomaly Management Bureau is a secretive agency, but the Imperial Investigation Bureau is notorious throughout the entire empire, so their name is particularly useful.

"Okay...okay..." The staff member nervously removed the mascot costume headgear, revealing a female college student working inside. After a breathalyzer test, she was allowed to pass.

After she pushed the cart out of the mall and onto the large truck that had come to pick up the goods, the next moment, Li Ge emerged from the bulky mascot costume in a posture that defied the laws of human physics.

At this moment, he completely changed his clothes and appearance, put on a set of high-end clothes bought for free from a clothing store, and styled his hair into a slicked-back look with hair gel, like a young master who had run away from home.

Even his aunt would be stunned at first glance, wondering if this kid was her own.

"Thank you for your help." Li Ge laughed at the woman and handed her a stack of banknotes.

"Let's exchange contact information, buddy... I'm from Viona Art Academy, would you like to have afternoon tea sometime?" the woman asked with a loud laugh.

"I'll definitely do it next time." Li Ge smiled and left, leaving behind only an incredibly dashing back view and eyes that seemed to hold the power of a lion.

She stared blankly, as if this figure, whom she had only interacted with for less than a few minutes, held an unparalleled weight in her heart; she might never forget the flamboyant lion in those pupils.

Disguise and counter-disguise, reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance—thanks to the school's special training and guidance, he removed his "face," and at this moment, the real Li Ge revealed his true self. Even when he was talking to the female college student just now, he was wearing a clown mask.

The transformed Li Ge instantly blended into the night and headed towards the mayor's direction.
